was an Associate Professor at the University of Georgia, where she was co-director of the interdisciplinary engineering education research Collaborative Lounge for Un- derstanding Society and Technology through Educational Research (CLUSTER). In her research, she is interested in understanding how engineering students develop their professional identity, the role of emo- tion in student learning, and synergistic learning. A recent research project uncovers the narratives of exemplary engineering faculty who have successfully transitioned to student-centered teaching strategies. She co-designed the environmental engineering synthesis and design studios and the design spine for the mechanical engineering program at

This experience more often helps to handle the specific issues in theteam project.”Cultural intelligence factors - Behavior, Metacognition, Cognition, and MotivationThe most prevalent difficulty that arose was international faculty members’ personaladjustments. They often struggled and felt powerless when working on a culturally diverse team.This was even more evident for international women faculty. After participating in a cross-cultural training, faculty members reported that the main necessary changes in behavior observedwere self-confidence and assertiveness. Therefore, the participants’ responses were examinedfurther to gain more detail about how cross-cultural training plays a valuable role in changing afaculty member’s behavior

Specifically, Bridge to Doctorate (BD) projects are for post-baccalaureatefellowships that provides support to students in the first two years of STEM graduate studies. In2015, at the 37th Annual Fall Research Conference of the Association for Public Policy Analysisand Management (APPAM), Margaret Sullivan of Mathematica Policy Research presentedfindings from the evaluation of the LSAMP impact on URM students with support from the BDprogram.

As mentioned above, the majority of the sample is female (please see appendixC for gender and race breakdown of the sample.) Only 45 engineers took the survey self-identified as men of color. Due to the very small number of male engineers in the sample, wedid not further breakdown non-white male engineers into more detailed racial groups. Men
